It better be up soon - my theorizing about various foreign countries and what they do with sheep cannot be stopped so abruptly!
Yeah yeah I know.....
But on the plus side I am buying a new stereo today.......doesnt help your situation....but hell I thought I'd mention it.....
oh no i need my daily fix --- i will have withdrawal symptoms otherwise and i really need to know the next installment of cheez and his sheep (sounds like a new tv show) .. plus who is smelling of cabbage today?
Hey - you were the one talking about stringless tennis rackets :D
Thanks for the update, Fordy. I was wondering what was happening. :)
>It better be up soon - my theorizing about various foreign countries and what they do with sheep cannot be stopped so abruptly!<
Hehe....
i was wondering what was going on... ahh... at least we have cprog for updates...
and i do not smell like cabbage today... damn you cheeze for starting that...
oh, and my sheep are fine after this weekend... i hired a guard to watch them so random "fairies" wouldn't go sodomizing my "people"
Damn, I make one Goat and Squirrell comment and it all gets blown out of proportion...
Anybody wonder why they cloned Dolly the sheep first?
he he he.
> Anybody wonder why they cloned Dolly the sheep first?
And wasn't it those dirty Scots that did it? :D Mr. Fitlike, you've got some answering to do!
This is Garbage! Today is my Birthday. I want
my "Happy Birthday, Ethic" post (started by
someone other than me)!
Nevermind. I'm going to go cry now... Next time
there's a problem, try to schedule it on a day
that is not my birthday.
hey... happy bday ethic :) *gets idea*..
>This is Garbage! Today is my Birthday. I want
my "Happy Birthday, Ethic" post (started by

Hmm, maybe the site will get back up shorty. If it does, I promise to start one if no one else has.
BTW, happy birthday! :)
Hurry, hurry, hurry flashdaddee!!!!
I need my assembly language fix.
:D
you are a sick, sick, person...
Man, now I have to hang oiut here, damnit.
>Hurry, hurry, hurry flashdaddee!!!!
I need my assembly language fix.<
Hehe...yeah I need my OS fix. I gotta watch Compuboy try to teach Garfield about file systems... :D
>Man, now I have to hang oiut here, damnit.<
...
> Man, now I have to hang oiut here, damnit.
Well, it's not as if anyone's forcing you to. If you really want, you can just go somewhere else...
...and the beat goes on...and the beat...
Why me Lord? Why me? First you-know-who and now this.
A lousy hard drive failure. That's what it was. Guess they can't afford backups. Oh, well, what am I supposed to expect for $800
a year-eggnog, too?
Anyways, their support is verifying I am who I say who I am.
After that, they will look into why my control panel password
doesn't work, I think. Once I get access, I can reload the
web page and Fordy can reinstall the database. Fortunately,
we did a backup on March 2, so we won't lose too much info.
I had planned to backup tomorrow as part of a weekly backup scheme, but I guess that'll wait.
Want to hear something scary? The backup we did prior to
Mar. 2 was during the Chris thing. I think Fordy has that backup,
but I'm not even sure of that. And the backup we did on Mar. 2
was just a spur of the bored moment thing. I had nothing better
to do, si I decided it might be a good idea to learn how to do a
backup. Fordy thought it was a good idea, too. How true.
I just hope the backups are usable. Hang on. We should be back in a day or two, depending on how fast Tera-byte gets back
to me on this password thing. I've looked into replacing them
as web host while I have the chance, but I can't find another service that gives you as much as they do for the price. So I guess we'll stay with them.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. See you when I see you.
Oh, and Happy Birthday, ethic. Many more to you.
rick barclay
thanks for the update rick :)
ARG!!! A DAY OR TWO!!!
thanks rick - arrgh have to go back to a backup from march 2nd - that means we will have to restart all the sheep, goat and squirrel stuff again (at least it'll keep cheez and ober occupied)
and anyhow to ethic - happy birthday old chap - here is something for you: -
> (at least it'll keep cheez and ober occupied)
What, are you trying to say you had absolutely nothing to do with it, and ober and I are the big perverts? :shrugs: OK, I guess I can live with that.
now im glad i've never been there,
Happy B-Day, Ethic?
So you've learned your lesson have you, rick? No more backups!...Quote:

Well....I did have one or two other backups since then.......so if we didnt do the Mar02 backup we wouldnt have lost everything since last Nov.......
it wasnt me it was the other evil bassy...Quote:

oh well one/two days without FD - i'll just start by trying to have a life... and i shall start right now by going off to watch Enterprise and Dark Angel...
As fordy and rick are rescuing everything again - do they now become super admins??? :D
I never said anything about squirrels... i know nothing of it.. now goats and sheep... well.. then maybe we can talk turkey... err...Quote:

something which has nothing to do with anything:
:DQuote:
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One
trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere...like the
time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new
heel for my shoe, so I decided to go over to Morganville,
which was what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I
tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels
had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Give me five bees for a
quarter," you'd say. Now where was I? Oh yeah...the
important thing was that I had an onion tied to my
belt...which was the style at the time. You could not get any
white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could
get was those big yellow ones...
Yeah..Cprog.Motel, with the flashing neon sign and all. I
might as well stay a while myself. Those gd idiots at tera-byte
are like snails. I really wish I knew of a comparable web host.
I'd switch today.
rick
Nothing new for me.....I been here all along.......but having only one webpage open is a little weird......usually I flick between both sites to see whats up........might have to go onto another forum tonight........Hmm......which shall it be......Quote:

Ditto here....
I just hope you guys get the site back up in time for me to report on the results of the Harding-Jones/Bonaduce-Williams/Ice-Bridges super match on Wednesday.... You have until then!
suggestions for the flashdaddee site(when it finally comes up):
post my tutorial
fix the links so that clicking on source code does not go to tutorials
add squirrel graphics(not those kinds of graphics):P
maybe a direct link to the #flashdaddee room using java?
>>Nothing new for me.....I been here all along.......but having only one webpage open is a little weird......usually I flick between both sites to see whats up........might have to go onto another forum tonight........Hmm......which shall it be......<<
Heh, same here. I think I'm starting to have withdrawl syptoms ::shudders::
Ah well, at least we can all have a big slumber party here, and use this thread as a makeshift flashdaddee...
So...last we left off, well....geez, I can't remember. Someone bring up a thread. Ah, how bout one we've lost indefinately?
J#/Sun Sues MS:
Stupid Sun. They have no right (yadda yadda, if you remember what I said in that thread insert it here)
When we get back online, I'd like to work with you on this if it's all right with you, y. What say?Quote:

I was away most of the weekend, didn't get to see many comments on my 'Internet Dilating Time' thread. I can only presume it diverted to religion and Squirrells in the two days since I looked last.
Man am I regretting mentioning my squirrell fettish :)
>And a big thanks to cprog.com for putting us all up for a night (maybe two)... haven't visisted in a while... may just make a few posts while I'm here...<
Here here! I propose a toast to the fine patrons of CProg for letting us slumber a night or two! :)
>When we get back online, I'd like to work with you on this if it's all right with you, y. What say?<
Speaking of stuff, rick, did you ever upload that new source code page? It's still at flashdaddeesfreehold unless it got wiped too.
>>It's still at flashdaddeesfreehold unless it got wiped too.
Nope, went there this afternoon and it is still there
/*edit*/
does that backup also make a copy of your PM (I sure hope so)
flashdaddeesfreehold is still hosted by featureprice.com and
has nothing to do with the crash at tera-byte. And by the
way, I've signed us up with a new web host-liquidweb.com.
tera-byte has just been so unresponsive to my requests for help I've decided to dump them. Hopefully, we'll be back online tomorrow with liquidweb as our new host.
I can tell you this much: I have been extremely displeased with
tera-byte tech support ever since I signed with them. Their
hosting performance itself is exemplary and it's a shame I have to
do this, but I've been sitting here all day without success waiting for them to give me access to my control panel. So, it's bye, bye tera-bye, hello liquidweb. Eventually, a web host will come along
to satisfy all our needs.
rick
Ok, well since this is a makeshift flashdaddee, I hope the mods don't mind me beseeching the members here a question that would've been on the PHP board there...
Ok, so I'm just messing around with PHP, trying to recreate something I did with ASP once upon a time, and if you enter like
"yes'm" or "\"...stuff like that, sometimes it'll add in an extra '\'...I think it's because PHP has some ties with C (I'm guessing) and we all know how C handles certain characters like ', ", and \ - by putting a \ in front. Anyway, here's my code...Any way to fix this?
Code:<html>
<head>
<title>Dynamic marquee fun!</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method='get'>
Enter text to marquee<br>
<input type='text' name='Text' <?php echo "value =
$Text"; ?>></input>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='click'></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if($submit == "click")
{
echo "<marquee><font size=10 color='red'>$Text</font></marquee>";
}
?>
Thanks...I could just find a PHP board, but what better place than flashdaddee? (even if it's not the true one)
Rick, I'm using liquidweb to host one of my sites that I've been working on; I've had no problems with them. Let me just throw out http://www.futurequest.net as a host I've found to have excellent service; in fact, they currently host cprogramming.com.
sure.Quote:

fyi, i was kidding about the squirrel graphics. sorry to let you all down...;)
also, fyi, #flashdaddee is still there... empty as usual... *hint hint*
For all those suffering withdrawal symptoms:
another one:
squirrels will rule the world
Muhahahaha...ok...

>The religion was last seen evolving into an autonomous intelligence that has since declared itself independent and is engaged in border disputes with Freedonia that may well escalate into a full-blown war.
Curious... Now what was the operating system this autonomous intelligence chose to use? Microsoft or Linux?
::going to hide under my desk::
Now with this dilation of time, it could be hundreds of (our) years before I am actually murdered right?
>Now what was the operating system this autonomous intelligence chose to use?<
Ooh, I know this one: BeOS of course. :D
what is public enemy's best album?
Hey Rick, I hopw FD got some kind of insurance that will pay for my therapy after so many non-FD-hours!!!!!!!!
It's not something you can play with :(
BTW, I wanted to get into FD to post a magazine article for itld about dual processors motherboards. So here it is:
(the file was too big, so I just cut it into two pieces, here it's the first bit):
OK, here it's the second bit:
I heard that flashdaddee suddenly got 50,000 hits within 10 seconds and it crashed the server. I guess PC Magazine hit the stands in a big way.
>>PC Magazine hit the stands in a big way.
so we went out in another magazine and no-one told me about it?
Ok. It's 3:25 pm and I'm finally starting to upload stuff to the
new site. There are no forums yet and probably won't be until tomorrow or maybe even later, as it's the middle of the week
and Fordy is busy with his job. Plus, there may be unforseen problems--who knows?
Anyway, the nameservers have been transferred but will
not take effect for a couple of days I suppose, so if you
want to visit the site, do not type in flashdaddee.com yet.
The ip address is 64.91.238.78. That will bring up the page
but not much more. I have to go out in a couple of hours so it
most probably will be late tonight be fore the entire site is back
on line. As a safety precaution, I am not uploading the cinema
stuff. I'm going to pare the site down to just the essentials,
which I consider to be the library and tutorials at this point.
We have 20 fewer gigs of tranfer to play around with and I don't want a repeat of the brownouts we had at featureprice, so I'm
going to start small and go from there.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding. You guys are really great.
Thanks again to cprog for giving us a place to communicate.

ewww....
"sexism in the animal world": http://www.theonion.com/onion3809/sexism_rampant.html
on the front page of theonion.com they have a picture of a lion humping another lion
the only thing i can say to that is 'at least it wasn't squirrels'
The forums will be up very soon.....
I will send a confirming email to all registered members as soon as we are up and running like before.
Thanks for your patience....
BTW.....we now have a different server that believes in the concept of "Backups"....they actually upgraded the hardware on our server without bothering to take a backup, or even notify us of the situation so we could make sure precausions were made! All we knew was that the server stopped, rick asked what was going on, they said they were working on the server and then bang...."hard-drive failure!??!?!?". Luckily, the last backup was only a week old....so we have lost very little........
They havent even managed to give rick the proper passwords to restore the site yet......
>>and any backups -Ken- may have made
Well how else are people going to believe that I have a doppleganger?! Let alone his habitual beastiality and skirt-wearing.
howdy,
im taken up a collection so we can get rick a real isp. refer to the flashdaddee board for further instructions.
M.R.
I cant wait to get back on and discuss Martyrdom with Compuboy.....
And I will have to repost my super-moon
Is it featureprice that been giving you all this hazzle? I have a skeleton site hosted by them but if they are messed up I think I rather move it to somewhere else before I actually will fill it with cool things.
No.....Quote:

We havent sorted out the proper domain name yet....that will take a day or 2....there might still be some tweking needed (and yes I know the damn time isnt correct so dont bother e-mailing, PM'ing or AIM'ing me like last time......you know who you are goddamit!)
The icons look a bit duff cuz I only have the old grey stuff here.....they will be changed as soon as rick is back from the hockey.....
Sooooooo....get posting and please be patient with any problems....
well done fordy ....
so on a lighter note was all this done just to get rid of all the posts on squirrels, goats etc (i am becoming obsessed with the squirrel thing)
>(i am becoming obsessed with the squirrel thing)
Oh Bassy,
Squirrells are sooo last month. It's March now, I've got my eyes on the lemming and emu, they're real up and comers. :)
